Method

Fry carrots, fennel, garlic, star anise, coriander seeds, and shallots in olive oil for five minutes.

Arrange lobster meat and garnish in bowls, pour over the cold consommé, and finish with lemon oil.

Strain through double muslin, season to taste, and chill in the fridge.

Make a hole in the crust and simmer for 20 minutes.

Bring the mixture to a simmer until a crust forms.

Blend clarification ingredients and whisk into the chilled lobster stock.

Simmer for 40 minutes, strain through muslin, and leave to cool completely.

Fry lobster shells in olive oil for five minutes, deglaze with brandy, and drain.

Stir in tomato purée for three minutes before adding shells, stock, brandy, and tomatoes.
